    I really don’t get this complaint. Don’t most hard drives start at 500gb-1gb? I keep lots of games on mine and 4 are 100gb+

      Not every player of PC games is playing on a PC, anymore. A gamer on the original Steam deck base model starts with 64GB storage, and has to buy SD cards to get more.

      100GB for one game, in 2024, generally means some other game is getting removed to make space.

      In my case, Sea of Thieves is asking for $40.00 and for me to remove the entire Halo Anniversary Collection. I don’t mind the $40.00, but the surprise need for 100GB is why I didn’t pull the trigger on the purchase.

      At some point, I’ll buy yet another larger SD card, and maybe take a another look.

      But 100GB is a big ask by a game about cartoon pirates.
